With every season, air pollution levels too see significant variations. This is true for levels of both particulate matter PM2.5, such as emissions from vehicle exhaust fumes, and PM10 particles comprising soil dust, etc.
A study by the Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (CSTEP) found that transport remains the biggest culprit for PM2.5 all through the year. Other practices such as leaf- and waste-burning in winter adds to the presence of secondary aerosols.
